Is epinephrine a steroid?

Adrenaline is produced by the adrenal glands, which sit on top of either kidney. The hormone, more commonly called epinephrine in the scientific and medical communities, is also often called the "fight or flight" hormone, since it's released in response to severe stress or threat. Explains Dr. Lauralee Sherwood in her book "Human Physiology," adrenaline increases heart rate, respiration rate, availability of glucose to fuel muscles, and blood flow to the muscles, helping to prepare the body to fight or flee an attack.

Because both testosterone and adrenaline are associated with strength and vigor in some regard--testosterone because it leads to increased musculature and adrenaline because it increases the contractile strength of muscles temporarily--it's common to assume that the hormones work together. In reality, testosterone is a steroid hormone that exerts long-term effects over development and physiological function. Adrenaline, on the other hand, has short-term effects, and does not show cooperation with testosterone.

Can you use clobetasol propionate for foot fungus?

I' googled it and everyone is saying no. I get ringworm often and I use different cream each time. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Recently I got ringworm again and developed over time from size of a quarter to size of half of my body. Most of the time I just left it alone and it'll go away by itself. This time I use clobetasol propionate twice I think and it worked for me. So maybe try it once and see if it works.

Can you give a dog Prednisone that was prescribed for people?

* == ==

* Absolutely not! Prednisone for humans has to be monitored closely and the side effects with some people can be unpleasant. Take your dog to the vet! It's cheaper in the long wrong. NEVER use human medications on any of your pets. * From another source: Actually whether its 5 mg or 20 mg of prednisone, prednisone is prednisone. In some cases depending on where you are (what country) if your pet was prescribed prednisone there wouldn't be any "special beef flavored" variety, they'd be given the exact same tablet you would be taking if you had gotten a prescription for yourself the same day. Please see a vet, however. Prednisone does more harm than good if not given correctly, and sometimes additional tests are needed to check general health, etc before starting a prednisone regimen. But as for the simple question of "can it be done", certainly it can, it is the same chemical. The point the above answer could have made more clearly is that it should not be given if you do not know what you are doing. Unfortunately, some people do not have access to vets, and I understand that. In that case the internet is a great source of information, although it can also be a source of misinformation. Be careful in any case.

How do steroids stunt growth?

No. Steroids are used to allow the muscle tissue to hold more water and aid in synthesizing proteins and formation of glycogen. This retention of water allows the muscle to also become more oxygenated, all of which gives a strenght increase as well as size increase. Growth as far as (tall or short) are defined by your DNA Dioxyribonuclaic Acid, your genetic code. Using steroids to increase mass beyond what your natural body will allow, will of course give you that wider, bulkier look. This bulky and wide look from steroid use can have an optical illusion effect of looking shorter than you really are. It actually happened to me...After a season of heavy steroid use and weight training 7 days a week for a couple of years, I was very massive and very defined as well, (kinda what you see in a body builder magazine). A friend of mine took a pic of me solo and a female who I did'nt know asked him how tall I was, he replied 5' 11"...She said hmm, he only looks like 5'7". There is one caveat though, taking steroids and getting stronger means lifting heavier weights...this can cause spinal compression and hurt the discs, while it is temporary compression that can be fixed from days off, relaxation and sleep, you could actually measure yourself to be about 1/2" shorter by the end of day. The next day after proper rest without lifting you would gain that 1/2" back as your spine decrompresses itself.

How does steroids kill you?

you have more chance of winning the lottery than injecting into a blood vessel.. hitting one is a different story.. while you have thousands upon thousands, wherever you inject, we're talking about a needle that's extremely tiny in width and a surface area smaller than 1mm.. in fact, the needle itself whilst being tiny is probably bigger than the blood vessel, so you're just going to break through it - which in most cases is just going to cause acute pain and possibly some extra bleeding (if any). no biggie, you're not going to die..

Should Prednisone be taken in the morning?

well...not a wise thing to do as it does not make sense due to the fact that

corticosteroids are at highest level in the morning and in order to follow the natural cycle of secretion of these hormones in body it's better to take prednisolon(a corticosteroid) in the morning at 9 am (not on empty stomach).

Also a side effect of prednisolon could be insomnia so it's better to take it in the morning!

* Some steroids cause an increase in LDL cholesterol and a decrease in HDL cholesterol. * Anabolic steroids have been shown to alter fasting blood sugar and glucose tolerance tests. * Acne is fairly common among anabolic steroid users, mostly due to stimulation of the sebaceous glands by increased testosterone levels.
